On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

    Yes, buy cheap shit, get cheap shit. BT headphones less than $100, be careful, probably gonna be bad. All of the sub $100 pairs I’ve bought have been junk, and quality greatly increases with price in my experience.

      I have a 10 year old pair of noise canceling that were way less than $100. Battery is probably shit today though.

      But you make a good point about quality. Gotta know what you’re buying.

      Though my other sets were fairly inexpensive - $30-$50, and work well.

      A LOT depends on the phone - using the same headsets across different phones has made that pretty clear.

        I didn’t think about phone BT quality too, that’s a good point.
